Michael Russell is known for providing exceptional, discreet and loyal service to his clients, day and night. Whether working with a buyer, seller, renter or landlord, Michael is universally informed to ensure his clients are always achieving the best possible result.
Originally from Atlanta, Michael was raised by two of Georgia's top producing real estate brokers. At the age of 18, Michael moved to New York City where he attended Marymount Manhattan College. During his studies, he worked as the lead project manager for the renowned interior design firm, Alfredo Paredes Studio. Having been raised by two brokers and with a background in Psychology and Design, Michael brings a unique perspective and understands the importance of listening to his clients to ensure he appreciates their needs when navigating New York City's luxury real estate market. Not only does he fight for his clients' best interests by never promoting a transaction that is not a solid investment, he is keenly aware of the personal and emotional component uniquely presented in the business transaction of buying or selling a home.
In Michael's free time, he enjoys spending time with his partner and their mini-Bernedoodle, going to the theatre and movies, watching good television, hiking, going on road trips, reading, cooking, travelling and spending weekends Upstate (where he and his partner have a home) or out East with friends.
